On the national news
Today
They discussed the way
That, Kate,
Duchess of Cambridge,
Keeps her hair
So shiny, and so lustrous.
It appears the answer is,
Crushed organic materials,
And filtered rainwater.
In some parts of Africa,
And India,
Among other places,
Children will die
For the lack of someone
To filter the water
They are forced to drink
I think,
That, surely,
This is somewhat unfair.
On the national news
Today
They discussed the way
That, Prince Charles,
And Camilla,
Had made a flying visit
To the states,
Without palace staff
To wait upon
Their every need.
In Sierra Leone
The Government
Have restricted
The whole population
To stay in their homes,
In an attempt
To prevent
The further spread of Ebola
Which the world has all but
Forgotten.
On the national news
Today
The Archbishop of Canterbury
Castigated the Government
For the need for foodbanks,
Having closed all his churches to the needy
He went home to his palace,
To be waited upon
By those
On minimum wage.
Is it me?
Or can the rest of the
World see
The inequality??
These contrasts
That rip our societies apart,
Where the powerful
Control the press
While the rest of us
Wave flags?
